Precautions

This medication should be taken under the guidance of a medical professional when used to lower blood pressure. It contains lactose hydrate, so individuals with galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption genetic disorders should not take it. Individuals with high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, edema, the elderly, patients taking other medications, those with weak stomachs, or those who have symptoms of loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting should consult a healthcare professional before taking. If symptoms such as decreased urine output, facial or limb swelling, heaviness of eyelids, hand stiffness, increased blood pressure, or headaches occur during use, discontinue and consult a professional immediately. Additionally, if symptoms such as muscle weakness, convulsions, or paralysis appear, stop taking and inform a specialist. If symptoms like skin rash, itching, hives, indigestion, vomiting, or diarrhea develop, stop taking and consult a specialist. If symptoms do not improve after several days of taking, stop and seek advice. For long-term use, it is essential to consult a professional and adhere to the prescribed dosage and administration. Caution should be taken as the risk of side effects may increase when taken with medications containing potassium or licorice, or specific diuretics. This medication may be effective for motor impairment and facial paralysis in some stroke patients, but there is no marked difference for language impairment or consciousness disruption, and its efficacy for dyspnea has not been proven.
